Julia Steiner from Ratboys returns to discuss their new album, Singin’ to an Empty Chair, processing the death of comedy legend Catherine O’Hara, writing songs inspired by her first experiences in therapy, working with producer Chris Walla and songs that combine session work at a rented cabin with those recorded at Electrical Audio, Steve Albini’s drum sound, anxiety, dogs, and Indiana Jones, our shared love of the Beths and Miriam Toews, addressing empty chairs and the time Clint Eastwood did that, Jimmie Kilpatrick, Thrush Hermit, and Joel Plaskett, going to a songwriting camp with Blake Mills, tour dates, other future plans, and much more!
